Rev1 is a nonprofit organization founded on one simple principle… each one counts. By asking for $1 from everyone around the world, Rev1 hopes to start a revolution of giving. Rev1 hopes to partner the energy, passion, and optimism of young donors (and the young at heart) with organizations in need. With so many nonprofits out there, it can be difficult to know where to begin giving… and to know if a small donation can even make a difference. It can!

Rev1 identifies organizations in need and helps them one project at a time. Your $1 will help organizations meet their goals and change in peoples’ lives! Rev1 is micro-philanthropy making a difference $1 at a time. Founded by Manwell Reyes in the summer of 2009, Rev1 seeks to make a big difference with the smallest of donations.

After achieving success as a member of Group 1 Crew, Manwell wanted to make an impact, give back, and give others the opportunity to do the same. Countless fans inspired Rev1 with their enthusiasm for the music and messages of Group 1 Crew. Manwell realized that despite their zeal, this younger generation needed an outlet to match their limitless passion with their limited resources. He began Rev1 as a way to partner their energy with organizations in need. By only asking for just $1, he believes that anyone can participate in making a difference.

This is a very cool initiative Emanwell who used his influence in the music to help people in need around the world. Join this campaign and also help a brother who is hungry in the poorest places in the world.

Billboard Brasil

Foi lançada a versão brasileira da revista norte-americana Billboard, a Billboard Brasil. Considerada a “Bíblia da Música”, a publicação é o lançamento do ano e deverá revolucionar o mercado musical brasileiro trazendo, principalmente, a versão nacional de suas famosas paradas. Com quase 116 anos, a publicação determina tendências mundiais desde o começo do século passado e assumirá este papel também no Brasil. Mensal, seu conteúdo é formado por diversas sessões com lançamentos, entrevistas, artigos de especialistas, últimas novidades, além de conteúdo da versão americana e as paradas.

Hoje a Billboard está em três países. Além dos EUA, onde foi criada em 1894 com temas diversificados, a publicação existe na Rússia e na Turquia, sendo a mais antiga do mundo. No Brasil, terá 40 mil exemplares e será distribuída nacionalmente. A primeira parada musical data de 1936, mas somente em 1950 a revista assumiu exclusivamente o conteúdo que tem até hoje, a indústria da música. Entre as mais famosas está o “Hot 100” e o “The Billboard 200”, que serão publicadas no Brasil juntamente com as paradas nacionais.

Muito bom termos no Brasil uma revista, que deixa todo mundo informado sobre os acontecimentos da música brasileira. A Billboard chegou com certeza pra revolucionar as revistas que abordam música no Brasil. Se a "MAG" seguir os padrões da versão americana, ficará bacana, abordando todos os tipos de música, inclusive a música gospel. Esperamos que não haja "discriminação" na divulgação do ranking das músicas cristãs brasileiras. Faltava uma revista assim no país pra que a galera que segue música ficar bem informado sobre os sucessos e os fracassos da música nacional.

Release "ANTHEM" New Album of R-Swift

What comes to mind when the word Anthem is used? For many it is a word that communicates an expression of loyalty to something through song, e.g. a country, school, or organization.

Some would be surprised to know that the word "anthem" is also defined as "A body of sacred music, usually using the Scriptures". In this sense “Anthem” both titles and best describes R-Swifts highly anticipated follow up to his sophomore release SoapBox.

In Anthem R-Swift expresses the Lord's worldview in contrast to the world's worldview. As a bible study teacher on a college campus, R-Swift often encounters those driven by the prospect of worldly achievement and materialistic accolades. In an environment where pressure to perform and stress about the uncertainties of the future can easily overwhelm, communicating the truth and sanctity of God’s word and worldview is imperative. God’s Word should dictate a believer's view with regard to all of life’s concerns…family, poverty, crime, economy, and government to name a few; as well as expose sin where it may not be conspicuous, for instance where underlying pride, arrogance, hatred for God, selfishness are our hidden motivations.

R-Swift delivers these truths in an amazing assortment of Christian Hip-Hop bangers that will move and convict any crowd. Songs like Awesome God, an ode and tribute to the classic of the same title that boasts of the glory of God through the ages and compels the believer to acknowledge and treasure His beautiful attributes in worship. Shattered tells the timeless story of unrequited love from the viewpoint of an alcoholic woman, a narcissistic man, and an all knowing God who would lovingly sacrifice His only Son to redeem the world anyway.

R-Swift once again uniquely conveys a timely message in a way that will convict and challenge believers and non-believers alike to sing and to live His Anthem.
